I am having an issue with the plastic pieces that the struts clip to. They have all broken and now the struts just come off in flight. Does anyone know if I can buy this piece and replace it or if I need a new wing? because they are attached to the wing I am not sure if they come off or are fixable? Or better yet, does anyone have any good mods for this issue? I am sure I can come up with something but thought I would ask first.
Thanks!

If you mean those little circles that are stuck into the wing, you will find replacements in the pack when you buy new HobbyZone wing struts. They don't cost much. I don't know the part number but if you have the little instruction book all the parts etc are listed in the back.
Wing struts are a pain in the wotsit.

Where did you find the replacement wing struts? Wing struts are a stock HobbyZone part. You will see the part number listed at the back of the little book that came with your SC. You should be able to buy them via your local hobby shop. Or Google 'HobbyZone super cub struts". Or modify your existing struts! Those little hooks have a tendency to snap under impact (hard landings etc), and newbies can find themselves buying loads of them. So modding can save money. You will find a number of interesting mods if you search the various RC websites, including this board. Here is an example: supercubclub.proboards.com/thread/2657/stock-wing-strut-modA variation on that mod is in my post here: supercubclub.proboards.com/thread/5075/new-flyer-windy-west-sussex?page=2(In brief, clip off and discard the hook. Straighten a paper clip, heat it, push it through the strut end and wrap it round to secure paper clip to strut. Glue if needed for extra strength. Other end of paper clip attaches to the wing.) |
